I like it just because it's kind of a cute idea and more importantly it doesn't use the normal art. I think 95% of all the converted pets look hideous. Only some of the ones that have modified shapes are alright. They should really just put their attention into re-doing their art instead of making boring repaints with a few tweaks as new colours. There are plenty of 15 year olds that can do a better job than this.


Snaps to that. I don't like how all converted neopets look like they've copy then pasted then random color slapped onto them.
But I do enjoy the little differences that are actually unique and interesting like transparent and mutant colors. The repeating
pattern colors irks me such as camoflage, speckled, maractite, etc.. Those colors doesn't give the pets much of an edge for appeal to me.
I completely agree with you about 15 year olds doing a better job. The mentorees I have at Big Brothers Big Sisters have better
artistic abilities. If they majored in graphic design in the future, even their converted neopets wouldn't be as bland as the ones
above.

I prefer faeries. I will never ever own one of these pixellated images from TNT Hell.

It would have been cooler if it were a significant upgrade in technology/realism rather than a significant downgrade.


I do like the cartoon style Neopets are done in, and I think making them look realistic would make them worse.
But yeah, 8-bit was too far out there. e.e

Seriously, you think TNT could come up with a better colour than bloody 8-bit...... seriously....

Both the Chomby and the Kougra look like shit IMO.

Fair enough they may cater for the OLDER generation of neo players but wtf? lol

I swear theyre running low on ideas for new content.

Or not, it's not because you can't understand all the nostalgia with the 8-bit thing that you have to say that about TNT. And for once they please the older players and not the kids... Seriously it's not because you don't like it that TNT is running out of idea.
Personnally it remembers me of the time I was playing mario, yoshi, zelda... All in 8-bit.

oh i can totally understand the 'nostalgia' behind the 8-bit colour. Believe me, i wasnt born in the 90's....

I too loved playing mario, yoshi (not so much Zelda) when i was a kid and they first came out on the old Nintendo (yes im talking the original Mario on NES).

I just dont see how anyone in their right mind would LOVE to have an 8-bit pet... But each to their own i suppose. I certainly wont own one (unless i get a zap of one, in which case ill sell it, seeing as its SO popular) :p

Its always a matter of taste...
People don't like the same things...
For you it's hard to understand why people love 8-bit for them it's hard to understand why you don't like them.
:)

I wanted to say something else but I can't find the word for it so nvm...

Hey thats all good i dont wish to start a debate about it. I know everyone has their own opinions of the colour. Its just that I dont like them personally :)

Im sure TNTs new colour design will have appealed to the majority of users but im not one of them. Just stating MY OPINION :)

IA with this reply 100%. Definitely looks like a mouse and, IMO, the Chomby is still cuter! The more I think about it, the more I really want an 8-bit Chomby.

It burns! It burns us! *Gollum shriek* I start to get a headache from looking at the 8-bit pets, which is a big reason as to why I don't want one. It'd suck having a pet so deformed that it hurts me to look at it :sorry:

Strange creatures :o 8-bit is really blury and I doubt it agrees with conception of neopets. . I'm not fan of this colour.
